A Night of Hope for MBC is an annual community event to raise money to support research for metastatic breast cancer (stage 4) through the Cancer Couch Foundation. Unfortunately, little money that is raised for research is earmarked to research a cure for metastatic breast cancer.

Additionally, the event organizers have again selected Ann’s Place, as the “Angel Fund” for the event. 10% of the evening’s proceeds will be donated to Ann’s Place.

In 2020, Chandelle Pluff Albert, one of the event organizers in 2019, passed away from stage 4 breast cancer, only two years after her stage 4 diagnosis. The Night of Hope this year will honor both Chandelle and the founder of Cancer Couch, Rebecca Timlin-Scalera, PHD who passed away from MBC in December of 2019.

In 2019, A Night of Hope for MBC raised $85,000 that went directly to metastatic breast cancer research at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center through The Cancer Couch Foundation, a local Connecticut, privately funded, non-profit organization.
